T.V. is (not) Dead ??

Is T.V. really dead? In my life, yeah it pretty much is. I don't have time to flip through channels just to end up turning it off since all the good shows are not playing, not unless i wanna watch the news but let's be real, the news is kind of depressing. I also have apps on my phone that keep me updated with the local news. For example, on Twitter I just simply follow CP24, or I just download the weather app. A lot of things that are on T.V. can be found on our phone, our phone is basically a smaller version of a T.V but with much more. I guess nowadays, T.V is considered old school since a lot of the older population of the world are not as familiar with the new technology or the new programs such as Netflix, Apple T.V., Popcorn Time and etc. Also, today's youth can easily adapt to the new stuff because I prefer to use this programs instead of watching T.V because I can watch a billion episodes in a row, press play or pause, and if I'm not done the episode I could just watch the rest later. Netflix also offers movies and documentaries so there is a wide variety of things to watch. The only downside is that new episodes that air on T.V. are uploaded on Netflix much later so i have to wait for the next season. But that really isn't a big issue.

From what I've seen, only my dad watches T.V. in my family and he cancelled a lot of the channels that none of us watch anymore. I used to flip through 900 different channels but now, there's only like 100. In the next few years, my parents could possibly just take out the cable box and have the regular, basic channels. When I asked my parents about Netflix, my mom knows how to use it, but my dad has absolutely no clue, so from there I have an idea that many other adults don't know how either. If me or any of my siblings show him how to use a program like Netflix, no one would be using the T.V anymore. Both my parents have smart technology and social media (just Facebook but it keeps them updated) to check local and world news. My mom is beginning to just use the T.V. for Netflix or YouTube, because she doesn't like the programs on T.V. YouTube is a great site for just about any video to every video. I personally understand why she prefers it because YouTube has much more than a T.V. It has original videos, lots of music, tutorials and much more, i can never find that on my T.V. So I can say that the new programs are slowly started to get to the older audience now.

In the next couple of decades, I believe that T.V. will eventually die out because of all the new technology and programs we have. T.V has a lot of downsides that can't compare to YouTube or Netflix.or other programs. Those dreaded commercials are the worse. The one new episode a week are stressful and the late night episodes make me sleepy. T.V. is dying.
